Shingle Roofing

Architectural shingles are the most affordable way to get a new, code-compliant roof. Installed with the right nailing and underlayment, they stand up to South Florida weather.

Asphalt shingles cover a large share of homes in Broward and Port St. Lucie, especially in subdivisions built from the 1990s through the 2000s. Many of those original roofs are now at or past the end of their life.

Why architectural shingles

  • Lower upfront cost than tile or metal.
  • Faster installation, often just a few days on site.
  • Dimensional look with a thicker, layered appearance than old three-tab shingles.
  • High-wind ratings when installed per the manufacturer's high-wind nailing pattern.

What makes a shingle roof last in Florida

Shingle roofs fail early here for three reasons: heat, poor ventilation and wind uplift. We address all three with proper attic ventilation, a sealed deck or secondary water barrier where required, and the correct nail count and placement for high-wind installation. Those details also show up on a wind mitigation inspection and can affect your insurance premium.

Typical lifespan

In South Florida's climate, expect roughly 15 to 20 years from a well-installed architectural shingle roof, depending on the product, ventilation and storm exposure.

Shingle Roofing FAQ

Are shingles allowed in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone?

Yes. Shingles with a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance are allowed and must be installed to that approval's requirements.

Can you install shingles over my old roof?

We don't. We tear off to the deck so we can inspect and repair the plywood and install underlayment correctly. It's also what the code expects in most cases here.
